Dined at the basil, three weeks ago. When we arrived the table they gave us was within a foot of the barstools. Seeing that there was very little room for people to walk by to get to the restroom, we asked if we could have a different table. Only one or two tables were sitting in the restaurant at that time. The waiter said he would have to check. You could tell that they were bothered by it. When he came back, he offered one table only that we could move to. We dismissed this, thinking that maybe they had several pending reservations. Needless to say, the restaurant stayed empty the entire time we were there. Now let’s talk about the food. I ordered a ginger chicken dish. The chicken literally was like leather. Dominated flavor of ginger was all I tasted, I love ginger, however, complementing flavors would have been nice. Left almost the entire dish. But the primary reason I will not return is the long history of the horrific odor outside the restaurant. I have only been here one other time and it was about a decade ago. I Remember when I would shop at Smart and final the sewage smell right outside Le Basil’s door, and the fluid that comes from their building and seeps onto the parking lot. It is still there a decade later, and completely offensive when you walk in the door.Fortunately, there are many other Thai food restaurants right around the corner.

This is our go-to restaurant for good Asian fusion food alone and with a group. The food & staff are excellent, with a varied menu to please everyone. We especially like the Vietnamese dishes, such as the Bun bowls, that we can't get anywhere else in the valley. Highly recommend!

Service is terrible. Don’t plan on eating with the people you came with because the food does not come out together. One meal will come out then 10-15 min later another meal. Food is good but I would suggest takeout only.

We have been coming here for years and the food has always been exceptional! It was no different tonight. But the service is simply atrocious, always has been, probably always will be. The appetizers come but before the dishes are removed, the entrees arrive. The table beside us gets the wrong food and the table behind us also has a service issue. No offer to refill our drinks or our water glasses. We make a specific request for refills and it takes an eternity. We ask for extra napkins but end up going to the supply area and getting them ourselves. We are finished dinner but the wait staff is too busy with other tables so we sit for 20 minutes waiting for the bill. The place wasn’t even busy. We eventually give up and head to the till at the end of the bar where an apology is provided and the bill is presented. We pay the bill with a tip and are on our way. The food itself very good but the experience tainted for us and our guests. Rumour has it another location is in your future. Strongly recommend you learn to operate the location you have before you try to expand. You do not know how to run this part of your resturant and you fail to hire someone who does. The person you hired for tonight had no training and no clue what they were and were not doing. That’s not on them, that’s on you.

Food is not tasty.It took about 30 minutes to get 2 dishes of Pad Thai that we asked to exchange for fish instead of as in the menu with chicken, It was hard and dry, but the charge was doubled.We also asked a curry dish.

Terrible food! I got food poisoning, DON’T go here. I ordered the orange chicken and was sick for x3 days. It cost me over $1000 to get better and call in a doctor. Ruined my holiday! Please don’t go here. The doctor confirmed I had food poisoning. My husband also didn’t like his food either. Very very disappointed.
